CLK and E Class - folding rear seats?

[m33ufo]

Can someone fill me in on whether folding seats are standard, an option or just not available on current spec CLK and E Class models??

What did your last slave die of?

Download the price lists for each model and look it up.

Well that was very helpful of you, if you don't know there's no reason to reply - have a great day!

Pretty sure it's an option on both.

Pop the boot open and there's two red handles under the top edge of the boot. The E Class has a cave for a boot as it is.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't carry bulky items but it would be helpful if I had the length there - won't bore you with specifics but I have a hobby that needs it

An E-Class estate would be perfect but if I can get away with a CLK or E-Class saloon then it gives me more options to consider.

Certainly an option on the E-Class Saloon although I think it is standard fit on the CLK now....

For completeness, not an option on the CLK Cabriolet...

That's true - but do you know why not?

There's enough boot space taken up with the roof folding assembly to start feeding cables all around to fold seats down. I think Mercedes like to think you can throw a set of golf rackets in the boot easy peasy.

Plus, if you must go to B&Q for that skirting you could always put the roof down

Nope.

Interesting response - my guess is either ridgitity or security.

Nope.

The responses indicate why I suggested in answer to the OP's original question that he download the price list off the MB website and have a look. Then instead of getting well intentioned but random guesses he'd know for sure.

The answer is that they're not optional on the CLK cabrio because they're fitted as standard.

[sneijder]

Nice, perhaps you could have posted that on Monday ?

[Chauch]

So exactly as I posted earlier then??

[m33ufo]

Actually, yes!

Hadn't even considered that the cabriolet would be suitable - looks like I have another option

Interesting - maybe a facelift addition as my 03/53 CLK55 AMG Cab doesn't have folding seats!
